Those foreigners affiliated with the Social Security System must consider that when their visa is renewed, the Colombian government may request a health policy as a requirement to continue the application.
International health policies are generally acceptable for Colombian visa applications, provided they meet the government’s requirements for coverage. It’s crucial, however, to ensure that the health policy explicitly states its validity in Colombia and covers the necessary medical benefits as required for the visa.
The cost of an international health policy in Colombia varies depending on the level of coverage and the applicant’s age. EG Assist plans start at USD 465 per year with USD 18,000 in medical assistance coverage. Depending on the plan selected, coverage can reach USD 100,000, with prices ranging from USD 465 to USD 995 per year. Applicants aged 76 to 85 can access the EG Visa Protect, Pro, and Max plans with a 50% increase in the base price.
For the Colombian visa application, it is mandatory that your health policy covers the entire period of your intended stay.
To obtain a visa for Colombia, applicants must have a health policy that meets specific criteria set by the Colombian government. This includes coverage for medical expenses, repatriation, and hospitalization related to accidents and illnesses that may occur during the stay in Colombia.
